A wavelet analysis of active region oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
The wavelet transform is applied to the analysis of active region oscillations. The localised (in time) nature of the wavelet transform allows us to study both the duration of any statistically significant oscillations as well as their period. Time series arising from SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) CDS-NIS (Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer Normal Incidence Spectrometer) active region observations on 14th-15th November 1996 are used to demonstrate the applicability of wavelet methods. High cadence (approximately 14 seconds) observations were made in He I 584.33 Å (log Te = 4.3), O V 629.73 Å (log Te = 5.3), Mg IX 368.06 Å (log Te = 6.0), Fe XVI 360.76 Å (log Te = 6.4) provide detailed intensity information on the active region over a wide range of temperatures. The distribution of statistically significant periods found varies from line to line, as does their duration.

Eclipse observations of high-frequency oscillations in active region coronal loops
One of the mechanisms proposed for heating the corona above solar active regions is the damping of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Continuing on previous work, we provide observational evidence for the existence of high-frequency MHD waves in coronal loops observed during the August 1999 total solar eclipse. A wavelet analysis is used to identify twenty 4×4 arcsec2 areas showing intensity osci...

Low frequency power oscillations may be triggered by many events in the system. Most oscillations are damped by the system, but undamped oscillations can lead to system collapse. Oscillations develop as a result of rotor acceleration/deceleration following a change in active power transfer from a generator. Like the operations limits, the monitoring of power system oscillating modes is a releva...

A coronal loop can be oscillated in various directions. A basic type of coronal loop oscillation is called transverse oscillation that can be caused by different factors, such as nearby active regions and flares. The damping of transverse oscillation may be produced by the dissipation mechanism or the wake of the traveling disturbance. The aim of this paper is to estimate the damping time of tr...
متن کاملActive Region Oscillations
We report here on an investigation of high frequency oscillations in active regions, carried out using high cadence observations of O V 629 Å, Mg IX 368 Å and Fe XVI 335 Å with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on SOHO. Using the techniques of wavelet analysis on various temporal series datasets, we find that certain oscillation frequencies are favoured for each line. We find furthermor...
متن کاملPropagating magnetohydrodynamics waves in coronal loops.
High cadence Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observations show that outward propagating intensity disturbances are a common feature in large, quiescent coronal loops, close to active regions. An overview is given of measured parameters of such longitudinal oscillations in coronal loops. The observed oscillations are interpreted as propagating slow magnetoacoustic waves and are un...
